As there’s always a cost to travelling, my whanau and myself have been out cutting fire wood and will be taking orders if you are in need of a trailer load or two!
The firewood is pine 🌲 for those who are asking!
They are $300 a trailer load and we deliver to Greytown, Featherston, Martinbourough and Carterton
Cheers Whanau, Arohanui ❤️
Orders just to either myself on 0272077025 or Dean Southey on 0274687238

New Zealand Transport Authority is planning on a new route from Ashhurst to Woodville now that the Gorge is deems to unsafe. We have been given till THURSDAY AT 4PM to have submissions in to include a walkway/cycleway/horse bridal path to be added during original construction. It makes so much sense to build it during the initial construction phase and it opens up fabulous country for recreational pursuits, a facility sorely needed in this region.
I am asking you to PLEASE click on the link below and make a submission. Even if you don't visit this area now, it will be there for generations to come. It is a fabulous opportunity to create a versitile recreational asset.

Please act on this now.
